I don't have the game myself but these are some impressions from someone who's beaten it.

Spoiler-free impressions:
- Gameplay is fantastic. Shooting now has a weight to it and the freedom of how you tackle encounters feels great.
- Set pieces are less bombastic, but no less memorable or exciting.
- Chapters are more meaningful and each one feels very distinct. They're much longer than in previous games too.
- Speaking of which, my end clock was 14 hours. I reckon most playthoughs will be between 12-16 hours. It's pretty meaty!
- Music has less memorable themes, but it's the best implementation of music in the series. Firefight music in particular is great (very pirate like)
- It's the best looking game on the system bar none...you already knew that.
- But what shines is the art direction, it's so beautiful! Colors are vibrant and each environment is so wonderfully well crafted, it feels so organic.
- Smoothest 30fps game I've ever played, no hyperbole. Their masterful implementation of motion blur is like nothing I've ever seen.
- Incredibly clean image, everything is so sharp and the AA solution removes any noticeable jaggies.
- Details, details, details. People say you don't notice the little things, you do. In many ways it's the 'biggest' Uncharted, but it's also the most down to earth, so all the little things stand out so much more.
- The ending is perfect. PERFECT!



Unfortunately they're JPEGs but still look great.

What are we exactly refering to with bombastic? I only ask because I'm thrilled with what I've done so far and not sure what that word is actually meaning in the case of Uncharted. Like more grounded?

 

[Dominator]

After a few playthroughs I might play

cel-shaded

... Wow that shits amazing.

[spannicus]

Game looks awesome.

Yet kojima said an 80s filter was too taxing on PS4 with MGSV.

This changes everything :0

Yet kojima said an 80s filter was too taxing on PS4 with MGSV.

Err... MGSV runs at stable 60fps in open-world so I think he had fair point

 

[hydruxo]

That first forest screen just blew my mind

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Finally seeing Elena smile. Took too long.

Damn you can do it .
God this game going to be amazing .
Also thanks for write up shinobi.

 

[DeepEnigma]

9 days and 11 hours according to my pre order countdown timer

Even better!

Credit to Alex.

Holy shit... I am definitely doing this on a second play-through! And I almost never usually mess with filters, but man.

And holy shit that motion blur looks amazing and makes it not look like your typical 30fps game.

 

[Primethius]

Damn, thanks Shinobi!

 

[Dovahking]

Snip.

[m4st4]

Wetted my pants. I feel like your post will truly hold me together for 8 more days, thank you shinobi! clap-clap-clap

 

[ironcreed]

Some of those last few filters make the game look even more incredible. Wow.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Wow, I'm legit impressed by that cel shaded filter. That's a really fucking great filter.

 

[SSReborn]

Wetted my pants. I feel like your post will truly hold me together for 8 more days, thank you shinobi! clap-clap-clap

What about the last 2 days??? What will you do?

 

[SlasherJPC]

I'd also like to remind folks, the puzzles in this one are rather well done. More in style with 3 then 1 or 2.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

holy fuck

 

[Javin98]

Yet kojima said an 80s filter was too taxing on PS4 with MGSV.

Did he specifically said PS4? I get the feeling it was too taxing for last gen consoles instead. Those versions already run at sub 720p and sub 30FPS.

Also, thanks for the pics, Shinobi! Those forest pics are absolutely phenomenal. The lighting blew me away.

 

[Conduit]

So, you can play U4 in cel-shaded graphics.

 

[Krakin]

Shinobi thanks so much, you're a saint.

Best looking game I've seen on any platform and I say this as a PC gamer with a beefy rig. Accuse me of spouting hyperbole I don't give a damn. 10 more days!!!

 

[m4st4]

What about the last 2 days??? What will you do?

Overwatch.

Uncharted 4 reviews as well... Last day will be the toughest. Last hour...5GB patch will kill me haha

"Pure awesomeness"

[DKHF]

Thanks shinobi. Those impressions are very good to read.

 

[DieH@rd]

Man, those forest screens from shinobi's post... damn.

edit - Game is PLAYABLE with 2nd filter on that list? loool

 

[SSReborn]

Yet kojima said an 80s filter was too taxing on PS4 with MGSV.

I mean I don't know if you can completely compare the two situations.

 

[etta]

- Smoothest 30fps game I've ever played, no hyperbole. Their masterful implementation of motion blur is like nothing I've ever seen.

Amazing. About damn time someone caught up with Playground Games in that regard.

Those ocean screenshots look amazing, that tropical blue water is so good. 10 more days.

 

[EagleEyes]

Wow those filters are incredible. I can't wait till the 10th
